Mind of the strategist

Every single person couldn't help but feel awe and grateful that this person was one of their own. Just a week and the person was able to point out all the holes in their plan to ambush Nanling.

They were amazed to learn of the ways to keep the balance and increase the rate of their winning in this battle. Though he had yet to disclose the plan but with the preparation so good that they were already confident of the unknown plan.

Mo Yan could feel their hope and excitement thus giving a smile speaks "As you might have guessed...this one has indeed managed to prepare shock tactics...though the risk is there but with the perfect preparation...the possibility of winning has increased and if something still were to go wrong we will have leeway to detach ourselves from this matter..."

Everyone gasps from the news, Shiyou was the most excited one thus he stands and grasps his shoulders "Mo Yan...you didn't pale the praises you receive...in fact everything they say about you doesn't give justice...I am happy and feel blessed to have someone like you beside me.."

Mo Yan pats Shiyou's hand, though it wasn't appropriate with their status yet none felt it was wrong. They felt their heart touched from seeing this moment. Mo Yan smiles and replies "like I said...it's what I should do...take a seat...I have lot to share..."

Shiyou nods at his humble attitude and sits back. Everyone had their posture upright and ears in high alert. Mo Yan then once again starts to explain "everyone...before I disclose of the plan...we have to remind ourselves one thing...as I said before no matter how good a plan is...there are times when unseen circumstances can effect and turn the table...the world of war isn't just black or white...there are also grey areas which we must give recognition... as they say wind isn't always favorable, soldiers aren't always victorious

obviously victory is important but we also have to prepare for what if and failure...as the entire world balance hangs as the risk...even before the attack we have to prepare the escape route...not because we are coward but because we are clever...

One failure doesn't determine the person's entire life as long as we are persistent, together and alive there will be a day to sing the song of our victory...now moving on..

We won't be sending any of our army for this invasion...specially any high general...rather we will be sending suicide groups and mercenary's...our suicide group will poison their main water sources...making them bedridden while our mercenaries will be in charge of taking the imporatant heads of the army...starting from their captain...

They will then disguise as the general and vice generals while keeping the ill army in check..they will announce that it's nothing serious and help is on the way...after settling the army our suicide group will then disguise as the new recruits of their army and head to Jing to ask for the help with the duke...

Yusheng away from Nanling will definetly bite them hard and the duke will for sure travel to three cities probably with small armed groups to check on situation...while his army will be left in his sons command...we have to keep an eye on any messenger be it land or air send by the duke and stop it from reaching its destination..

Our men are to act normal and lead duke inside the cities where he will be assasinated by our mercenaries...only then shall we send Yeshou towards the Jing to capture their god forest...while yeshou works to control the entire forest our men will send some messages disguised as dukes to ease down the Chen army and his family...

Once Yeshou is prepared we will send two letters one to capital for Pei Jin to come for rescue while other for Chen army to inform them the matter is serious and the duke won't be able to return till the matter is settled...with this information we will lure Pei Jin to the three cities and finish him..

On other hand the Chen army will be battling with all the ferocious beast on their own...we should instruct yeshou to divide his beast in two levels according to their strength...mid levels from morning to late evening and most ferocious for the night...making the soldiers unable to rest...slowly chipping away their numbers and strength...
